Quicker responce and the car tends to feel ....not as Lazy during switch backs.. ..... it's kind of like using the PAL short Arm conversion...(R1)

Must be more to it than just the upper arms being shorter because there NOT.They might be mounted further out because of there new inner mountings but there also mounted further out near the wheel also !!

But the height of the outer mounting maybe have been lowered further than the inside which would creat more roll which i would have thought make switch backs seem alittle more lazy ??

Just my thoughts

MKII and GT350 Skyline body seem to have the best overall balance
